I had fun but I would love to see some change at this rink…read more I grew up very spoiled by the ice rink that was in my small town in Wyoming. It was seasonal but it was free to skate there because of local donors. There were always multiple staff who skated around the rink to make sure everyone was safe and guided people around those who had fallen or were creating unsafe situations for all the skaters. The figure skaters only practiced in the middle of the rink that had cones around it to prevent any public members from confusion and entering that space. You were asked to follow the direction of the skating and not go against the flow. There was a mandatory break halfway to clear the ice. This rink is a far cry from that. Skating is honestly a hazard here! I had to check in mid skate to see if I was still in public skate because there were so many figure skaters on the rink doing whatever they wanted. Skating wrong ways, blocking the path, zig zagging between skaters, all the things figure skaters do.I had a few almost run ins myself. I don't understand why public skate can't be a fun time to skate around and around without worrying if you're going to have a head on collision with the figure skater. I felt really frustrated because this wasn't the first time that I've come here and had this happen. Can there be a designated time for the figure skaters to practice? I get it.. share the ice but when it's a literal free for all it's hard to predict where to skate and stay safe. I'm familiar with how to stop safely but for newbies this is really unsafe. I want to take my nephews here but is there a time when it's truly a public skate?

The facility is well set up with great amenities, including large locker rooms, a nice beer garden, and a convenient snack shop. It's a true hub for ice sports, hosting adult and kids league hockey and figure skating, plus open skating sessions with both skate and skating helper rentals available. The vibe here is definitely improving, and I'm really looking forward to the upstairs bar and restaurant that is reportedly coming soon! A cool, reliable spot for everything ice-related.

This review is just for the amusement park. My family and I had a really fun time, and I especially…read moreloved being able to go on rides with my toddler. The staff were nice, and the park honestly exceeded my expectations for a local amusement park. My only gripe was the wristband pricing. Kids under 48" still need their own wristband ($23.45-$26.45), and adults accompanying them need a companion wristband for the same price. The companion wristband only covers rides when you're riding with the child, so I thought that was a little steep, especially if both parents want to take turns. Still, seeing how much fun my toddler had made it worth it. Also, the carousel is free to ride! We also enjoyed the arcade. It didn't feel ridiculously hard to win prizes like some places. And our lunch and desserts were good, with pretty typical amusement park pricing. There are also plenty of bigger rides for thrill seekers. Overall, we had a great family day and I was pleasantly surprised by Oaks Park.

The split second when you are upside down staring right at the ground at 360 degrees will rewind all your life in that moment lol. Amazon adrenaline rush - lot of fun.

The park has many different rides some very easy. But if you think you can handle - go for 360 Atmos Fear.

Dust your ice skates off, because winter is here! Well, maybe you don't own a pair of skates, but…read moreat least you've got a local ice skating rink nearby. What am I talking about? Well, it's not a huge seasonal event like the Holiday Ice Rink Union Square in San Francisco and it's probably only one-fourth the size of The Rink at Rockefeller Center, but it's the Winter Village at Orenco Station Plaza! Yippeee!!!! OK, so first off, I'm new to the area but was told about this event happens every December. I didn't think much of it, until I started seeing them construct the ice rink. Then I knew something special was happening. But before I get into more details about skating and Winter Village, I just wanted to disclose that most of my information is primarily from their website versus what I've seen and experienced. Now onto the details: ~ When is it? Well, Winter Village opened last November 29th and will end January 5th, 2020. You basically get about five weeks of fun! And I'm actually somewhat surprised that no one has written up a review for this by now. ~ Main feature? Well it's the ICE RINK of course! A small one that's only about 115 feet long and 26 feet wide. It is outdoor, but covered by a huge white tent. With all the rain as of recent, it's actually good that the ice is covered and protected. The rink capacity can hold up to 70 skaters during a session. You do have to sign a waiver prior to skating, and sessions are about 90 minutes each. You can find their skating calendar and session pricing here: https://www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/home/showdocument?id=24060 ~ In general, prices with skate rentals are: Adults $13 Children (ages 4-11) $10 Children under 3 FREE! Want a discount? Bring your own skates and get $2 off. Or military and First Responders (and family members) get $1 off. ~ Features I've seen: Kids skating in special strollers. Cool winter decor and colorful lighting everywhere. I've seen the rink reserved, closed during some sessions for private events. So yes, you can rent the entire place all for yourself if you need to plan a private party. A great idea if you plan to have a season ending get together with coworkers. I've definitely seen it busier on weekends versus weekdays, so plan accordingly. ~ What I didn't expect from the village? The Winter Market on Sundays (10-3pm). Yes, a tiny farmers market with about 8 vendors selling things from home-made chocolates, specialty soaps, some flowers, a pie guy, a glass blowing vendor, I think I even saw a booth with veggies, a bakery booth with pastries, and a small band of local musicians playing Christmas songs. I thought it was just cool just seeing the community come together, regardless of how cold conditions have been lately. Well, there you have it! I would've given five-stars, but honestly I was sort of expecting more when you call something a "village". Maybe it hasn't snowed enough yet. Or maybe I was expecting it to be busier everyday around the area, but the good thing is, it's not. It is next to the MAX station, but really no heavy foot traffic. Support your locals folks, take your family out for some cheap skating fun, and happy holidays!

"$40" .. pays ... "thanks". I had no idea what to do or where to go so I walked back to the counter and asked. She explained it well enough and we found skates and taught ourselves how to put them on. Maybe everyone coming here are seasoned pros but it was a little off putting for a first impression. We were on the ice early and skated for an hour. The rink filled up pretty well but there was enough room for every one. Lots of different levels of skaters sharing the rink and bleacher type seats for spectators. Lockers are $0.50 - totally reasonable! All in all, we will be back! $20 includes skates ... nice location, especially now that I know the flow!

If you're here for the sport, the ice is always fantastic; consistently solid and well-maintained, which is clearly why the Winterhawks use it as their practice facility. However, the rest of the facility definitely shows its age. The stands are nice enough, though they are located on the far side from the entrance, making for a bit of a trek if you're carrying gear. The lobby isn't huge, and the locker rooms are a tight squeeze, especially if you have a full-roster adult hockey team trying to gear up at once. On the positive side, you can tell they are making an effort to modernize. The lobby, locker rooms, and bathrooms have been renovated, which is a huge improvement over how they used to be. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, whether you're there for a tournament or just a public skate. It's a classic, "old school" rink that has its quirks but remains a reliable staple for the local hockey community.

She has been skating for about 7 years total. We had heard good things about the program at Lloyd and decided to give it a try even though we live less than 10 minutes from the Sherwood rink. I'm so glad we did! The value you get at Lloyd can't be beat. If you happen to miss a class it's easy to pick up another class as a make up plus you can attend Open skate for free and get a punch card to bring a friend to Open skate a few times each session. Freestyles are also less expensive than other rinks in the areas. If you have done a learn to skate program there are some more advanced classes you can take like Choreo & Moves. The coaching staff is awesome, knowledgeable and patient. They go above and beyond to make students feel welcome, safe and included. (Special shout-out to Lydia!) Lloyd Center is also great for folks just wanting to skate for fun. Much of the day is available as Open skate and there are in and out privileges for the day. That means you can skate, pop off to grab lunch or shop and then skate again. It's a great little outing to do with friends or family.

Great crowd, everyone picks up after themselves and cleans the machines after use. Something the people in Florida need to learn, basic gym etiquette. There are sanitary wet wipes to wipe the machines. As a clean freak, I appreciate it. Also, the locker room area is very clean.
